    Did you check to see how many searches that keyword gets?

    What percentage are you getting? It varies by niche but it is generally accepted that the #1 result in a serp would get 40% of the people searching for that term to click through. I generally find this to be right on the numbers. This comes from data that leaked from AOL years ago showing about a 40% CTR for the #1 result. As kb24 asked, do you know the monthly search volume for the terms in question? Here is the leaked chart people use as a reference.
